TWENTY NINE!!!

Can't believe my birthday has already come and gone!  I had planned to go on a hot air balloon ride, which I have been wanting to do for so long.  With trying to save for the house plans changed a little bit.  Saturday (St. Patrick's Day) my Mom watched the girls so Shawn and I could go to Molly and Shaun's Wedding.  The girls ended up staying the night which was nice in the morning to sleep in 'till 9!  On my Birthday we woke up and took our time getting ready.  We headed to Brunchie's for breakfast.  Love that place!  Afterwards we went to my Mom's and hung our for a little bit and then headed home.  The girls napped while Shawn and I enjoyed the rain.  Even though I would have loved to take the girls to the park or hike or something outside, the rain was okay.  For dinner we headed to Fat Willy's for some drinks and pizza.  I enjoyed just talking with Shawn.  It was a great Birthday, but I can't help but to think about our plans for the BIG 3-0!

I did get a few gifts that I have had my eyes on.  This is my new Breville juice fountain.  I love it!!  I am trying to incorporate healthier eating habits for both myself and my girls.  Hoping this will help even more.  

Our first creation: 3 carrots, two apples, and ginger. 

I also got the girls a little something too.  This thing is AWESOME!  I love taking this contraption out of the freezer pouring in homemade juice and in 7 minutes... Popsicle.  This will come in handy during the hot summer days. 

They love them!!


Yesterday after getting out of the shower I found the girls in the bathroom doing this...

We got cleaned up and headed to run some errands.  The girls insisted on wearing their boots with their pretty dress.  They got at least a dozen of comments.  So cute.  Daddy bought them some chips so they had cheezy hands as well.  I love them too much.  

Summer is Approaching

Yesterday Shawn and I decided we needed some time for ourselves.We had the most amazing Day!
It started by getting a couples massage.  It was so relaxing and refreshing.  We would like to have a monthly routine of massages.  This was the first "couples" massage we ever had, highly recommended.  After our massage we headed to Scottsdale for lunch.  We made our way to Bungalow's.  They have a great patio and bloody mary buffet on the weekends.  The food was so delicious!  The bad thing: if your're a beer drinker (like us) they don't have any draft beers only bottled with not the greatest selection.  However, great food and will be back someday.  After lunch we made our way to Salt River Fields for our first spring training game of the season.

Beautiful stadium!!

 Once we got there it was already packed!  We finally found a spot at left field, which is my favorite spot.  (Parra plays LF) The first inning was already to a close but the players were just standing around.  We had NO idea what was going on.  After anxiously waiting for about 20 minutes we found out that there was a massive bee swarm that needed attention to protect the players and fans.  It took about 45-60 minutes to get everything cleared and the game started again.

We had so much fun nonetheless.  It is a perfect people watcher location.  We really just enjoyed each others company, but let me tell you it was HOT!!!!  We quickly realized summer is coming fast.  We ended up staying until the beginning ninth inning and wanted to beat the rest of the crowd out of the stadium.  By the time we left the score was 11-1 Giants.  Let's hope even though this game doesn't matter that it is not a reflection of the season to come.

Hot!!!
By the time we made it home, we had a delicious steak dinner and headed to bed early.






Today the girls tried on their new bathing suits and did not want to take them off.  We went outside and ate lunch on the patio and enjoyed a few otter pops.

Well, the girls have been sick on and off for about two months.  Shawn and I and I'm sure the girls are sick of being sick!!!  Last Thursday the girls woke up with a bad cough and I feared the worse, they're sick again!  Shawn and I both went to work thinking they have only another virus/cold.  Unfortunately,  they were worse than we thought.  Adisyn was really struggling to breathe.  Shawn called their doctor and she was unable to see them.  She recommended Phoenix Children's Hospital Urgent Care.  We enjoyed our visit nonetheless.  Adisyn had a high fever and low oxygen saturation.  The doctor we initially saw was having a hard time determining whether  to give her a breathing treatment or get an x-ray and determine if she has pneumonia.  We ended up getting an x-ray and sure enough she was diagnosed with pneumonia.  Yesterday the girls were getting worse again so Shawn took them back to the doctor.  This time we feel that they received the medication we were finally comfortable with... Albuterol.  They each got a really strong antibiotic to help with the infection if their lungs, eye drops for the infection in their eyes, and Sami.  I have a feeling this blue seal will be in our lives for awhile.  Sami is a at home albuterol breathing treatment.  It's possible the girls will grow out of asthma or needing albuterol, but with Shawn's history they may not.  We are just so happy they are getting what they need to get better.  These restless nights remind me of having twin newborns again.

This is the sickest my angels have been, so for me this was extremely difficult to see.  Fortunately I have Shawn through the hard times.  He has been such an amazing Dad.  The girls even talked Daddy into painting their nails.  He tried but did not do a very good job, so we'll see if they ask for a mani/pedi today from Mommy.  

Girls Day + baby Brock

Yesterday was such an amazing, fun, tiring day. 
Shawn made us a delicous breakfast while the girls and I got ready.  We met with my sister, my Mom, and baby Brock.  We started with lunch at Kona.  The weather was beautiful so we sat on the patio.  After lunch we headed to the zoo.  Which is where we spent 3.5 hrs.  It was such a gorgous day out so naturally the zoo was a little crowded.  We got some sweet treats and by the end we were all exhausted and ready to head home for some shut eye.  Even though I love my Husband dearly, it was nice to have some time away.  We all had so much fun!

The girls were feeding Brock french fries

So CUTE

Adisyn wore her glasses most of the time.

Brock did so good, he was content just hanging out in his stroller

LOVE my babies!

XLVI

Even though the Cardinals were not apart of the Super Bowl we still enjoyed it!  Since the girls were still trying to get better and we wanted a low key celebration, we stayed in by ourselves.  In the end it was a good game.  We made the most delicious nachos I have ever had!  They were awesome!  Shawn also made some guacomole accompained by some good cervezas. 

We even made our own nacho cheeze. Thanks Rachel Ray

I was hungry
